Bit of fun.... you know you're a truly sad MSE when....

millysaver

When you have bought so many boots bargains that you lie awake at night wondering how you are ever going to use them

In_Search_Of_Me

when you realise that you really didnt need the !!!!!! you spend thousands on & then gleefully watch your total increase on ebay...

when you realise who yur friends are get to support & be supported by others who know that gut wrenching feeling that comes with debt...

when you shout at the telly when any ocean/picture loan a comes on the telly....

when you rediscover (or discover!!) the of cooking, lidl, bargain hunting & car boots....

You realise what a con M&S food is & proudly discover that you can make it your self for about £4 cheaper & nicer & can batch freeze it!...list is endless!

My contribution is: when your bf winks at you and says 'I got you a present from Ann Summers for Christmas...' and your first thought is 'I hope he went through Quidco for that'. :eek:

That'll be my happy thought for tomorrow

When you would prefer chancing a fractured toe in the dark rather than switch the light on as you grope your way to the bathroom in the morning.

When you're incensed at your DH for opening the fridge door too many times.

When you have no shame about looking like the Michelin Man with all your layers on to save on the heating.

When you join the queue to check out the reduced section! (It's right in the corner in my tesco and not easy to get to).

When you save carrier bags, plastic food bags (washed out), elastic bands, padded envelopes and bubblewrap for ebay, stale bread for bread pudding etc and your OH comments "I'm surprised you don't wash and re-use the loo paper" - hmm maybe I should show him the thread about that one!!!

Sorry but nope not for me, I draw the line there!

when... you feel faintly superior when there's an article on BBCi News about spiralling consumer debt in Britain.

When your pay hits your bank account, the first thing you do is pay off what you planned and update your signature (thought my pay was going in early today, so was looking forward to that)

Bargain_Rzl

When you end up doing ALL the group admin for your circle of friends (booking travel, organising theatre tickets etc) because they know you'll find it half the price of anywhere they will, and probably also find a code for free delivery/free bottle of wine with meal... and even though they're blatantly taking advantage of you, you wouldn't dream of letting THEM loose on it

When people see you getting into a London cab with a large cardboard box and think you're a big spender, when it's actually because the large heavy household item you've just bought on a half-price deal would have cost over £10 for delivery and you can take it home in a cab for £8...

Join the queue? You mean you don't elbow your way to the front? Oh dear, you have a way to go yet :rotfl: .

Not so much to do with money saving, but I was thinking the other day that you know you're a MSE addict when you can guess who has thanked a post, and get it right most of the time! (Works particularly well in DT :cool: ).
